Experimenting with OpenDarwin … again!

A year or so ago I heard about the release of OpenDarwin v7.0.1 … the
Open Source project building on Apple’s Darwin project.  Darwin
is the core operating system beneath the popular OS X operating system
distribution.  At that same time I was starting to use Virtual PC
for all sorts of other operating systems and so I gave it a try. 
Well … it almost worked.  The OS installed, and after a little
configuration I even had X-Windows working, and a primitive window
manager.  The network driver … did not work.

I’ve spent some time, learned some things, and got some things
working.  With the recent Intel/Apple announcement, I figured that
I would get back into things …. just for the fun of it.  I’m
going to blog the various lessons and experiments that I perform. 
I created a new blog – OpenDarwin Experiences
… I’ll start to post some stuff tonight.  As of today I got the
network driver working with OpenDarwin v7.0.1 … I want to know if I
can get it to work with v7.2.1.  We’ll soon see!
